Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
There should be heavily armed boots on the ground, wearing pretty blue helmets and outnumbering the IDF, and Netanyahu should be in a cell or under a pile of rubble.
But the things that should happen won't, because the largest military power in the world is A-OK with genocide against brown people, as long as it lets them keep their military foothold in the region
I'm aware of the reality, must very frustrated with it.
Democracy is not a get-out-of-jail card for genocide.
I'm from the US of A and that statement counts as a terrorist attack
I agree with the Israeli spokesperson. "Targeting uninvolved parties" is their thing, Ireland can't just storm in by force and appropriate it, that's also Israel's thing
Attempting to disrupt trade between our two democratic states
Since when was Israel democratic? Bibi and Likud have certainly made every effort to turn it into a theocratic totalitarian state.
Labour leader Ivana Bacik told her party's conference: "Now is the time for Ireland to break diplomatic and trade links with Israel."
Do it Ireland 🇮🇪
They probably won't cut off diplomatic ties. There were a lot of calls to do it with Russia in 2022 after the Russian ambassador was interviewed on state TV and made an absolute show of himself and enraged the nation. There were months long protests outside the Russian embassy including constant red paint on the walls and one lad who drove his van through the gates.
At the time I wrote to the minister supporting the expulsion and was told it's important to keep doors open yada yada.
Oh, no, is Israel afraid their lives may be inconvenienced by the actions of another country? What a terrible thing - wherever will they go for their life-sustaining, essential supplies of [checks notes] broadcasting equipment, computers, and integrated circuits?
"Israel warns Ireland" has some "Russia warns" vibes.
Don't forget this bit from the article:
Trade Policy is an exclusive competence of the European Union. The legal basis for Ireland’s and the EU’s trade relations with Israel is the EU-Israel Association Agreement, which entered into force in June 2000.
